Gary, I spent some time this fall attempting to get jumping salmon shots.  It's definitely challenging, so I'm really impressed with what you pulled off here.  This depicts the surrounding chaos quite well.

I imagine a lot of frustrating time trying to catch one like this!  Great timing and/or great patience!  Techs  look super as do details including suspended water droplets.  Only thing I can offer is that this might be even stronger with some of the background trimmed to make the salmon more prominent in the frame.

Hi Gary,

 Lon hit the exact points I wanted to make so I won't repeat. But consider this another acknowledgement (and thumbs up) for the patience and hard work to capture this "sliver" in time.

Cheers...

Brad
